Athletic Training Flashcards
defined as physical injury or wound, produced by internal or external force
trauma
what changes state of rest or uniform motion of matter?
force or mechanical energy
external force acting on internal structures
load
change in shape of a tissue
deformation
internal resistance to an external load
stress
extent of deformation under loading
strain
return to original shape following deformation
elasticity
failure to return to original shape after load removed
plasticity
ability to resist load
stiffness
deformation that occurs with application of constant load over time
creep
elastic limit of tissue
yield point
exceeding the ability to withstand stress and strain leading to breakdown
mechanical failure (point of ultimate failure)
external loads applied toward one another on opposite surface in opposite directions
compression
equal and opposite external loads that pull the structure apart
tension
equal but not directly opposite loads applied to opposing surfaces, forcing to move in parallel directions relative to one another
shear
loads caused by twisting in opposite directions from opposite ends
torsion
two force pairs act at opposite ends of a structure
bending
an example of an acute injury
bone fracture
an example of chronic injury
osteoporosis of bone
a condition when symptoms appear and change or worse rapidly; severe and sudden onset of symptoms
acute
a condition that develops and worsens over an extended period of time
chronic
type of injury involving immediate pain, swelling, inability to use the injured body part
traumatic injury
type of injury that is violent and sudden, such as sprains, lacerations, torn ligaments, pulled muscles, or broken bones caused by a fall.
traumatic injury
type of injury that is more common and develop over a long period of time from mild or low-grade repeated stress
overuse injury
example of traumatic injury
a direct blow
example of overuse injury
repetitive dynamic use over time
active components of injury classifcation
muscle and tendon
passive components of injury classification
joint, ligament, connective tissue
overstretched by tension, or forced to contract against too much resistance, separation or tearing of the muscle fibers occurs. may range from minute separation of connective tissue to complete musculotendinous avulsion or muscle rupture.
muscle strains
some of the fibers have been stretched or actually torn resulting in tenderness and pain on active ROM, movement painful but full range present
grade I of muscle strain
a number of fibers have been torn and active contraction is painful, usually a depression or divot is palpable, some swelling and discoloration result. ROM decreased due to pain
grade II of muscle strain
complete rupture of muscle or musculotendinous junction, significant impairment, with initially a great deal of pain that diminishes due to nerve damage
grade III of muscle strain
folowing injury, muscles within an effected area contract to splint the area in an effort to minimize pain through limitation of motion
muscle guarding
a reflex reaction caused by trauma to the musculoskeletal system
spasms
the two types of muscle spasm
clonic and tonic
alternating involuntary muscular contractions and relaxations in quick succession
clonic muscle spasm
rigid contraction that lasts a period of time
tonic muscle spasm
overexertion in strenuous exercise resulting in muscular pain
muscle soreness
when does muscle soreness occur?
following participation in activity that individual is unaccustomed
what are symptoms of muscle soreness
increased muscle tension, swelling, stiffness, reduced ROM, resistance to stretching
